Baitwell pump is located in aft bilge area on top of the
port aft stringer.
Seacock is shown in the closed position
To operate the baitwell system: Locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the pump. When the baitwell pump is operating, go to the baitwell tub, open
the baitwell lid and visually check to see if water is pumping into the tub through the aerator fitting. If
water is not entering the baitwell tub, the aerator fitting may not be open. See the photos below to make
sure that the lever on the aerator fitting is in the open position. To turn the baitwell pump off, press the
baitwell switch to the aft position. You should always turn the baitwell switch off at the helm if the pump is
not going to be used soon

Lever on the aerator fitting is open
The 18-gallon baitwell tub is located in the port aft corner of the cockpit.
If you find it necessary to run the baitwell pump while you are
underway, you may be forcing more water than necessary up through
the seacock. In this instance, adjust the seacock lever to a 45
o
angle
so that the seacock is only halfway open. The seacock lever may
require additional adjustments to find a setting that works best for you.
Even when the baitwell pump is turned off, if the seacock is open, the baitwell tub will continue to fill with
water while you are underway.
To operate the washdown system: Locate the baitwell switch on the console and press the switch to the
forward position to turn on the baitwell/washdown pump. Then, locate the black washdown fitting at the
port aft corner of the cockpit. Twist the cap off the fitting and attach a standard garden hose. The small
lever on the washdown fitting needs to be in the open position (see the photos below) to allow water to
flow through the fitting.
